Playing D&D With Pornstars

[Herschel]

Heck, I was doing that 15 years ago.

I have a nude model in my game, too!

Anyone we might know of?

I doubt it... She mostly models for relatively-local artistic photographers. She's got pages on the various model/photog networking sites, but that's about it, AFAIK. It must go around in my extended group, because a former (male) player was one, too, as well as his then-girlfriend.

Eh, pornstars are people too.

I've played with a someone who went from working for repo, to towing, to being a bouncer, and then ended up moving to I think Indiana to weld.

Towing was the most dangerous of all those job

on a completely different topic - the old gaming group I was a part of had a guy in it that gamed with them for several years (before I joined) that left that group to join some sort of religious organization - something like a monastery, but I don't think it was a monastery.

So much for D&D being an agent of Satan in his eyes, though.

Quite frankly, D&D isn't the "Nerds Only!" club a lot of...well, nerds, tend to think it is. It's popular in a lot of places the stereotypical basement dweller wouldn't think of. I have a few friends in various branches of the military, and they all have regular games going on in their respective bases or amongst others there.

Nor are pornstars the empty headed bimbos a lot of people think they are, either.

Yeah, as I was saying in my series-of-blog-posts-about-other-blogs, once you get past the fact that porn stars are a particularly interesting kind of person who hasn't played a lot of D&D, one of the interesting things about Zak S.'s blog is the exploration of how to get new players into the game. His discussion about the "carrot" of giving players characters with awesome powers vs. the "stick" of putting those characters in situations where they may be killed, and which is more motivating to newbies, has definitely sparked further discussion in other communities I'm part of.

This was particularly insightful. I loved the discussion of the distinctions between a Fighter and a Barbarian. A Fighter involves lots of choices as to weapons and fighting styles. A Barbarian hits things with their axe and must decide only if it is time to rage. Plus, Barbarians are Metal.

An awful lot are, though. Our company happens to be in the porn capital of the world (Chatsworth, CA), and they go to local restaurants. A lot of them (male and female) are dumb as rocks. Some are not I am sure, but I suspect that is more the exception than the rule.
